SEAL Artilleryman confronted by 3 Rangers
So this guy tells some Rangers that he was in the SEAL Artillery while he’s waiting for someone to come out of a bar so he can get in unarmed combat with the fellow;
Not convinced, the men start to question his credibility. The guy tells them he never got a Trident after becoming a SEAL and that he was attached to SEAL Team Artillery. The other men don’t take his lie lightly. He only digs himself deeper when he assumes that they “wouldn’t know the area of Afghanistan.”
That’s when the friendly but serious conversation turns into a hard lesson for the valor thief. The men explain that they are all Army Rangers and things go from verbal to physical.

The best part was how many times he slapped the guy
Like a bitch. Hopefully upshot learned a lesson with that phony pride being smacked out of no mouth.
Drunks say stupid things. Drunks do stupid things. That covers the lot of them. Here’s some unsolicited advice. If you’re going to smack anyone, don’t video the thing and, if you do, don’t publish it later.
You Nailed it!!
…well, at least they didn’t pee on him.
This fascination with photographing and taping yourself doing things that could lead to trouble confuses me. I can never remember doing anything potentially criminal and thinking, “I should document this!” I would have thought that out of three Army Rangers, one of them would have at least had the sense to no put this out into the void of the web.
Bunch of drunk jackasses. All of them. I have mixed feelings about this video. Good on them for messing that guy up for saying he is a SEAL but how many times do those guys have to tell everyone that they are Army Rangers? The whole “SEALs are good actors pretending to be soldiers” thing kinda gets to me. Usually, special operations from all branches have a mutual respect for each other. I’m beginning to wonder if they aren’t posing themselves.
With the release of American Sniper being such a huge hit I think we are going to see a lot more SEAL posers out there.
And everyone is going to be snipers again.
I think one of those guys is going to have legal troubles.
SEAL Team Artillery? (Falls off chair laughing.) This one isn’t even trying.
Piece of advice: tell the guy he’s full of shit but don’t smack him. It’s idiotic.
Don’t laugh too hard, I am sure Francis “Lower leg above the knee” Visconi can get the guy a genuine SEAL Artillery Certificate with an authenticated signature!
Hell yes, smack him. But off camera. Reminded me of a guy that hit our local bike bar, telling us that he was a former Hell’s Angel. We slapped his ass silly, and made him stand on a chair and say, very loudly, that he had never been a Hell’s Angel, and that he was a worm. Posers are posers, no matter what life they pretend to live.
An “ex” 84 is likely to be dead…
Word!
“81” … Fixed that for ya.
Thanks for the correction. HA can get a little testy about that. You can take off the patch if they agree to let you do it and I know a couple that did. They can also take the patch from you and that will not go so good..
Yeah, I’ve met one retired 81…nice guy
That was really dumb…pretending to be any 1%er
Well now, a bunch of drunk idiots acting like they are badass. There is nothing about this I like. First, people have a right to be full of shit…to a point.
Second, I usually take care of this kind of shit in the mens room face to face without my drunk friends and a camera.
Third, one never knows who has a permit to carry a weapon. Pull the wrong punk card and things go south real quick.
Fourth, there are those of us that will defend anothers right to be a fuck up. Particularly when that fuck up is out numbered and being slapped around. Not a smooth move, there is more than one Dave Hardin in this world.
If any one of them, shit bag included, actually ever had the shit kicked out of them, they would not act like this.
Calling someone out for being full of shit is one thing, slapping them around in front of a group of friends is another. I don’t have friends that would put up with it. Neither am I the kind of friend that would allow it.
I have known Dave Hardin a long time. I more than likely would have walked into the group of them and said, “I am a Navy SEAL Artillery poser too, slap me around badass”. I got lots of paperwork over the years to back up what usually happens next.
I have had my ass kicked more than once, but nobody ever gets it for free, they have to leave a deposit. Semper Fi.
Dave, I don’t know you, but I do respect your perspective often. I’m just curious. Does your scenario take into consideration that the guys doing the slapping might have lost some good friends over in Astan? If you had had a few drinks with some of your Marine buddies and you encountered a Beirut “I was there” Marine poser, would you really be able to exercise that level of restraint?
Good question. I have been there, more than once. 31 years of putting up with fake Beirut posers. I am old, I am not that God Damn old.
Usually if one of us gets the red ass about it, the rest of us will haul his ass away.
What am I supposed to say to myself after doing some shit like this. I doubt there are many dead Marines that would be proud of me slapping the shit out of some little dip shit.
I want to see their bad ass poser call out skills when its a group of easy rider wannabe’s full of patches and badges. I have been there too.
I am pretty sure if you check you will find that there is not one place in the country which allows licensed carry while drunk.
Ya, that’s true. Telling the dunk fuck with the weapon and permit that, doesn’t go so well.
What if he shot those guys when they slapped him?
He could reasonably have said he was outnumbered when those guys got physical…and he feared for his life because they were special forces trained killers and he was just a liar.
How many folks would be defending his right to stand his ground even though he was a scumbag?
You must be new at this game. Ccw while intoxicated isn’t legit nor would be shooting somebody that slapped you telling you to leave.
Like saying it’s a no gun zone stops gun crimes. It’s better to play smart than to play dead. I absolutely don’t agree with the poser being a little douche, but being a drunk douche while confronting him doesn’t make anything better. To the point, CCW legality won’t stop someone from pulling a piece if they feel threatened, justified or not. This whole thing could have been handled a lot better and not made the “Army Rangers” look like drunks looking for a fight.
Wrong answer, bucko. If the people surrounding him all claim to be rangers, threaten him and then physically assault him then he is well within his rights to pull his firearm and shoot them if he fears for his life. The guy was in the bar but does not say that he was drinking. The Rangers are drunk. They are lucky that guy was not carrying.
However, imho the Rangers were justified for slapping that poser fag several times.
OK, Bucko.
Go for it hero.
Not only would I, I am. This kind of cowardly shit is not condoned by me. Everyone wants to be a badass, until it comes time to do badass stuff.
fuck these clowns and anyone that acts like them.
I’m not impressed by any of these punks, I’m calling bullshit on the “seal” and “rangers”. I see 4 posers that need bitch slapping.
Yeah, unless I missed something, the Ranger claim came from the alcohol-twisted tongue of one of the three. For all we know, there are Rangers as much as the lone guy us is a SEAL. Whatever. The guy who got slapped has probably engendered more sympathy than animosity among the thousands who will see the video. And the “Rangers?” They will be seen as the bullies.
This video is proof positive of why you should always carry your laminated SEAL ID Card.
GDContractor…Or be sure to have your Trident tattoo on your arm or chest ready to display.
The Rangers sound just like basic trainees let loos on Victory Drive outside Fort Benning. Lots of “I kill you” “Don’t look at us we kill You” And my favorite “when we graduate in a few months were going to Ranger school so we can kill anybody in this club”. It was hidden door EM club do not go their ever.
Now that you mention it, that very well may be VD…maybe we’ll find out more down the road. Old Jonn doesn’t miss shit.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t have put their hands on him, I’m saying they should have shut the camera off before putting their hands on him. They can’t say he just tripped on the curb and fell face first on the pavement 5 or 6 times anymore. Plausible deniability Rangers, plausible deniability…..
Bingo. Filming yourself (or your buddies) assaulting someone is generally pretty damn stupid. It’s right up there with filming yourself (or your buddies) p!ssing on dead Taliban.
Or raping the drunken college coed you were dating…
I am still waiting for their hit squads to show up at the house. I keep hoping a few that troll this site actually show up some day. If they do and I get lucky, I will post that video for ya.
I think all of them were posers. Would also like to see a follow up on this. Posers usually try to walk away and just about every video I have seen they are never assaulted, usually just allowed to dig themselves in deeper before being busted out for lying
The dude that slapped him has a beard and a non-reg haircut.
I think they’re all a punch of posers engaged in a drunken dick measuring contest.
ByrdMan…Thank you and excellent point. I watched it again and saw that and said, uhm…I don’t think so. That’s not a 3 day pass beard shadow, that’s a BEARD!
It’s all in the details.
The Rangers I saw in Afghanistan had long hair, beards, and were not wearing reflective belts or eye-pro. All this and not a peep out of the CSMs on the FOB.
I was on Shank with Team Darby from 75th and NONE of them had beards. None of my buddies that are in Regiment right now have EVER had beards while deployed. I think you mistook some SF guys for Rangers.
You’re probably right. In my Navy ignorance, I was unaware there was a difference.
It’s all good. In my Army ignorance I called a Marine Warrant Officer “Chief”. I learned that day they are called Master Guns and not Chief, like we do in the Army.
Marine Warrant Officers are either called “Sir” or “Gunner”. “Master Guns” is an abbreviated version of Master Gunnery Sergeant (E-8).
I’m not impressed. They all sound like they’re shit-faced, and it’s a miracle one (or more) of them didn’t end up seriously hurt.
Stupid is never pretty, I don’t care who is wearing it.
Instant assholes, just add alcohol.
Except for you, Bernath. You’re just an asshole, period.
^^^^^^^LIKE^^^^^^^^
Who kicked the glider pilot’s rock?
I figured he was busy trying to read the Complete Idiots Guide to professional legal ethics.
I think you need to add “unintended” before “glider pilot” above.
He put this picture up among his facebook photos. I think the title of it is “Penis Envy”. He claims he doesn’t photoshop.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH That is one pussy ass SEAL of Arty, hahahahahah, that is how all stolen valor faggots should get taken down, just a few bitches slaps, fucking epic.
I’m guessing that the genius “Ranger” who posted the video is a tad disappointed in how it is being received. Or perhaps, after coming to the following afternoon, he said, “I posted what!!!???”
Ranger Creed?
“…under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country”.
You’ve never been downtown Savannah on the weekends have you? There’s lots of rangers there getting drunk and acting retarded. Best way to tell if he is a ranger is wait 5 seconds, he’ll tell you. This video looks like something that happens all the time here, maybe minus the SEAL arty guy.
Actually, I was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah 1982 thru 1985. That generation of Rangers had their share of Jackasses too, they just didn’t have smartphones and YouTube.
The interesting stories never cease. A SEAL Artilleryman? Hey, we haven’t heard that one here before, have we? It’s like a certain critter who has made claims of being a former SEAL, the 13th President of the United States, a former USN CPO, and a Rabbi after he spouted anti-Semitic rants like a 1950’s backwoods KKK’er!
Like how the Deadbeat Dad, Fraud and Liar wears the SEAL trident for Ike Dinsmore… the depths that Dickless Danny sinks to is amazing!
Pilot reflexes??? You CRASHED a freaken airplane and haven’t talked to the FAA or NTSB about it because you can’t read a fuel gauge!
How long will it be before someone sues the Mrs. and his Daughter for his stupidity? Best guess is that it may be happening right now.
I just read “An Old Farmer’s Advice” again, and a few bits of theat apply to ALL members of The Dutch Rudder gang, things like:
*Do not corner something that is meaner than you.
*I doesn’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
*Live a good, honest, and honorable life. Then when you get older, you can look back and enjoy it a second time.
*If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging.
*
For once the facebook comments are more hardcore than the page comments, weird and WTF with Bernath? *facepalm*
LoL@at the guy’s face when the Rangers (Obviously drunk) talk about being deployed and working with SEALs, I’ll never get it it you are going to say you are a SEAL shit at least try to be as tough as they or something
Seal artillery? Want to impress me you need sharks with frickin laser beams.
I don’t like this. Yeah the guy that was posing as a Navy seal was in the wrong. But.. The way the Army Rangers behaved came off really apeish. They acted like a couple of drunken retards. They deffinately fit the stereotype. It’s exactly what the majority of people think about military. They should be setting a better example and using thier words not thier fists.
I DO like it.. If the wildman doing the ass kicking really is a bat-boy then I FUCKIN love it!!! I hope it starts a trend and we see more stolen Valor cases getting their teeth knocked out.
Does it really take three Rangers to handle a fake Seal?
Kidding aside, that could have been handled a LOT better.
I saw more than one thing in this video leading me to believe this took place in southern California (the tag on the car backing up curbside at 3:00, vegetation, the blue and white cross street sign over the nearby intersection, etc.). I am very familiar with southern Cali.
Some of their questions were kind of lame too. One guy knew the term BUDS and asked “what team were you on?” He could have learned that anywhere.
I was suspicious of these guys actually being Rangers anyway (the hair and/or beard on 2 of ’em), but the locale I perceive this to be makes it even more unlikely. I doubt they’re even *former* Rangers.
Just my opinion.
Seriuosly doubt that there were any Rangers in that group either. More like a bunch of drunk ass frat boys.
Actually he got off easy. If a real Professional Mature Spec ops guy who was sober was there the guy would have been made to feel like a worm,,,,, and tey never woud have laid a hand on him.
Some guys have a way of talking to you chewing your ass, even without raising their vioce, that makes you wish you had never fucked up.
